Question

I'm feeling quite tired all the time and I don't smoke or drink. My ultrasound report shows that my liver is enlarged to 16.5 cm. Do you think I should be taking any medication for this? I'm really curious about what might be going on and how I can manage it better.

Enlargement of the liver can be caused by various conditions, and feeling tired could be a symptom of liver dysfunction. I recommend taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help improve liver function and reduce fatigue. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin E supplements to support liver health. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question

I'm curious about ELIXIR NEOGADINERB syrup. Can it actually help boost my appetite? I've been having trouble eating enough lately and I'm wondering if there's anything else you might recommend to help increase my appetite.

Question

I'm worried because I've been having stomach problems for the past month. Every time I eat, I quickly get this gas build-up, and it feels like I constantly need to release it. Plus, my bowel movements have increasedI'm going about 4 to 5 times a day. What could be causing this, and how should I handle it?

Question

I'm really concerned right now. A couple of months ago, I had typhoid, but everything seemed fine afterward. I did an ultrasound and all my tests came back normal, so I went back to my usual diet. But recently, after a weekend of drinking more alcohol than usual, I experienced a hangover that felt really strange. I went to the hospital, and while most of my liver function test results were normal, my bilirubin levels were highBilirubin Total was 2.2, Direct was 0.9, and Indirect was 1.3. The ultrasound showed nothing abnormal, though. My doctor prescribed some ursodeoxycholic acid tablets and anti-reflux meds, and suggested we repeat the liver function test after 15 days. I'm pretty worried about this whole situation. Could this be linked to my past typhoid, or did the alcohol play a bigger role? What should I be keeping an eye on? This is stressing me out.
